Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [ɲ̟ɯ̟ᵝːbo̞ː] Forms: 女房 [canonical] (ruby: (にゅう), (ぼう)), nyūbō [romanization], niubau [romanization], にうばう [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: table Shift from 女房 (nyōbō). First cited to a text from the late 1100s. This form of the word gained greater currency during the Muromachi period (1336–1573), then fell out of use in the early Edo period (1603–1868). It is possible that this form of the word is simply an orthographical variant; various Japanese references indicate that it might have still been pronounced as something like nyōbō.
